Default 2015 vs 2016

Are there any differences as far as looks and standard equipment goes?

Thanks!

My dealer told me that there will be no difference. Only changes are to the packaging and pricing. Here in Canada, the 2015 models were available in f sport series 1 and series 2 packages. However, the 2016 models now have an f sport series 3 package as well. They basically just spread the 2015 options out more into 3 packages instead of 2 so this provides more flexibility for the buyer. However, the f sport series 3 is around $800 more than the f sport series 2 from 2015 but they are basically the identical packages. Hope this helps.

Yes...they changed the blue color to Blue Vortex Meatallic, at least.

Note also that the color palette changes depending where you are in the world. For instance, this is the color palette in new Zealand:



US Colors are here:

Looks like we have more colours than the US!

In the U.S., there is the addition of "Autumn Shimmer" color (a.k.a. "Coffee-ground Brown")

Agreed. It is incredible they still omit power folding mirror and panoramic roof. Definitely it is something to do with the pricing difference between the top end NX and the base model of new RX.

Agreed . Also, I bet they'll introduce these features in the mid-cycle refresh maybe for MY'18.

Ditto...I'm preparing myself to be mad when they release all those missing features.

Here in the states we didn't get alot of the goodies other places including Canada got.

And it's not just a couple of things. It's a very long list.

Like I've said before the list of features is significant enough for me to trade in my current car and get a new one in the last year of production.

The RX NX is a hard pairing. The RX is a bit bigger, a bit more safer, a bit more powerful a bit more everything. But is it worth it over the NX, is hard. Hence why there

It looks like the short supply of NX's is over. The local dealer now has NX service loaners. Sale price posted on 2016 NX is a discount of $2032 from MSRP. This is without any negotiation. The same sale tag on the 2016 RX is $500. On the only RC350 they have in stock, the discount is over $4000.
